He has been involved in various capacities of law enforcement over the past 30 years, serving in departments in both Dallas, Texas and Lansing, Michigan before accepting the position of Chief in Chowchilla.

"My 30 year career in law enforcement has been characterized by lifelong growth in leadership positions, assignments, and responsibilities," said Varney of his unique and diverse experience. "I remain excited to be involved as a leader serving our Madera County citizens through the local, regional and state law enforcement community. I intend to apply that enthusiasm to the position of Madera County Sheriff."
